I'm quite new to bitcoin. I've been compiling the client from github and I want to run on a server as testnet and make some API requests. As I see in the documentation I should create a bitcoin.conf file. But where do I create this in case of compiled client

The location of your bitcoin.conf file depends on your operating system: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin#Bitcoin.conf_Configuration_File
Note that you can also pass any configuration value as command line argument.

The bitcoin.conf file has to be created within the .bitcoin folder.
thank you for your feedback I've been compiling on linux but when I check /home/user/.bitcoin folder do not exists. There is a bitcoin folder from I compiled the source – fefe – 2014-02-17T09:37:27.330
If that folder does not exist, just create it! – Philip Frank – 2014-02-17T09:39:11.017

if you run bitcoind with sudo the .bitcoin folder is created in /root/.bitcoin as im aware. If run without root its created in /home/user/.bitcoin . However, bitcoin does create the folder upon first start. – Aurigae – 2014-02-17T13:27:11.843
